Summer being the Season of the Grill I'm posting my favorite marinade. Good on chicken or kabobs it's got a great blend of chili, cumin, garlic, cilantro and lime while keeping the chicken moist and tender.

And as an added bonus, I'll often save some of the marinade and use it to cook a side of risotto--pictured here with a sprinkling of feta on top--to give the rice a nice kick.

Mix up all the ingredients for the marinade (everything but the chicken) in a large plastic Ziploc freezer bag then add the chicken and shake to coat. Let it marinate over night if possible then grill, using the marinade to baste the chicken as it cooks. Serve immediately.

I'd like to enter to win that $50,000 patio kitchen, but this 'Official Rule' made me nervous. "21.
